I just finished reading a long discussion about making really good tutorials for beginners - not manuals, but good introductory treatments. It's a measure of my failings that I can't for the life of me relocate it, but I love that idea, because although I know a good bit about programming there is a lot I just don't get about SL and scripting in particular. My SL mentor says I am "highly intelligent" but she can't understand why I have so much trouble with the simple basics. But one thing I really love is interacting with sharp guys. If I could be of any use in sampling what you sharp guys produce at various stages, especially at the very basic levels, I would be very very happy to serve as a guinea pig.
Please keep me in mind. I am anxious to learn something. And to be a (small) part of something like this.
